I would love a gray and rainy winter. I hate snow. I hate shoveling snow.

+1.  My seven year old grandson (who lives with us) and I have frequent philosophical discussions on the relative merits of snow.

My brother Patrick decided to snow bird in Myrtle Beach, SC like my parents did for close to 20 years. Yesterday they got 5 inches of snow. I imagine they'll be shut down for a while. It's not like they have a cadre of snowplows down there.

We live in Munson Township, just up the hills from Chardon, and we usually get a little more snow than Chardon. So we have gotten over 102" this season. That's a heavier winter than in over a decade.

I travelled from Phoenix to Philly this past Wednesday for a family funeral, and returned last night.  Highs here north of Phoenix have been in the upper 70's and low 80's lately, which is nice (though warmer than usual - thanks climate change).

Anyway, arrived in Philly, drove down and picked my wife up in Atlantic City where she had been attending a work conference since the previous Saturday (she flew in early because of the pending storm), and drove back to the city.  About a foot of snow in the area we were staying (Burlington NJ this time, since the services were in Bristol PA).  But it had been on the ground for days, and had turned to ice.  My 2 yr old grandson (who also lives here in AZ and doesn't often see snow) wanted to make snowballs, but quickly gave up.  The weather hadn't gotten above about 20-25F the entire time, and the overnight low on Friday was 1F.  

That was cold for me, even having just recently moved out of the Philadelphia area.  And our local family and friends said they couldn't remember a sustained cold that has been THIS cold and lasted this long in decades.  

On the bright side I got to eat again at Amy's Omelette House in Burlington, which is a very local breakfast diner, but was worth the drive when we lived in that area (not much else in Burlington is).
